The Chicago Cubs were predicted to sign one of the top starters available this winter.
Having pitching is never a bad thing, and as the Cubs have seen in the past, it could help them accomplish their goals.
Ultimately, the offense has to be fixed in order for them to be the team they're looking to be, but adding more pitching will also help them become contenders, too.If they were to sign an ace-caliber arm and a few high-level hitters, this squad would look much different than it did in 2024.
"I think Fried is probably too pricey for the Atlanta Braves to re-sign at this point. The Cubs are still seeking a true ace for their rotation, and added another former Braves star in Dansby Swanson just a couple off seasons ago. I believe the need and comfortability with a former teammate making the same move could see Fried land in the Windy City. The luxury tax is going to be a thorn in the side of the Braves.
The rotation could get crowded with left-handed arms, which might be an issue in certain series, however, Chicago has been linked to multiple left-handed starters, so it doesn't seem to be too big of a deal to them.
